Jameis Winston Talks Jon Gruden Visit, Coaching
June 8th, 2023
“Hey Winston, write this down. You’re a $%$*# bobblehead quarterback and that stops today.”
Jon Gruden and former Bucs franchise quarterback Jameis Winston, America’s Backup, likely share a disdain for the NFL’s brand of discipline.
Gruden, aka Super Bowl-winning Bucs head coach Chucky, currently is suing the NFL for effectively running him out of the league with a targeted attack, one that had a ripple effect in Tampa with Team Glazer defrocking him from the Buccaneers Ring of Honor.
In 2018, Jameis was labeled a sex offender by the NFL after he agreed to a three-game suspension for a misdeed with an Uber driver he never admitted doing.
Recently, the duo joined together in New Orleans — Chucky as a Saints consultant and Jameis as the backup quarterback.
Much was made nationally about Chucky being asked to help the slimy Saints tweak their playbook to assist new starting quarterback Derek Carr, Chucky’s former QB with the Raiders. But Joe never saw a word about Chucky interacting with Jameis.
Well, it happened.
Joe watched the recent Jameis news conference, and Jameis told New Orleans media that Chucky advised him to stop “being a bobblehead quarterback.”
What’s a bobblehead quarterback? Jameis explained that Chucky says it’s a QB who can’t stop saying, “Yes,” to coaches. Lose the bobblehead thing, Chucky said.
“Say what you really like, be able to confirm what you really love about a concept or a certain play, and not just saying, ‘Yes, I’m fine with it,'” said Jameis, detailing what Chucky counseled.
Jameis said that concept really resonated with him, but he would not say he was too much of a yes-man to playcallers during his Tampa Bay days. Jameis did admit that he felt like he could execute any play, so he wasn’t going down the road of saying he didn’t like certain plays.
Jameis went on to call Chucky one of the greatest minds in NFL history and said “his presence and approach to the game is something that I really took in.”
Man, Joe never could ever have imagined four years ago that Jameis and Chucky would be working together in New Orleans.

Has Chucky ever coached a pro bowl quarterback?
June 8th, 2023 at 5:56 pm
JayMiss has soo much upside…….
June 8th, 2023 at 6:00 pm
Wasn’t Rich Gannon a pro bowler
June 8th, 2023 at 6:03 pm
Gruden also set the franchise record for wins
June 8th, 2023 at 6:03 pm
Well, the world is in tune just right ! 2 slime balls working for the slimy saints ! Perfect
June 8th, 2023 at 6:20 pm
LOL – I can’t imagine anything more odd and bipolar than Chucky and Jameis Winston having a conversation…
June 8th, 2023 at 6:25 pm
^^^Scotty^^^ …He’ll to the naw naw naw!
June 8th, 2023 at 6:46 pm
When he told Winston to quit being a bobble head, he actually meant quit acting like there’s nothing between his ears and his head going all over because he has no idea what to do.
Could you imagine in Winston applied himself and had something between his ears. If he had half of Brady’s brain with his arm….. would be somethin.
June 8th, 2023 at 6:54 pm
LOL, Jamiss says Gruden is one of the greatest minds in NFL History.
Quick, can anyone tell me of any coaches from his Coaching Tree ?
June 8th, 2023 at 6:59 pm
ATLBuc, absolutely. Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson and Jeff Garcia. And that’s just as a head coach. He also coached a guy named Brett Favre you might’ve heard of, being from Atlanta.

Miller. If you are going to make statement like that then I guess you feel the same way about every quarterback this team has drafted!!! Name 1 quarterback the bucs developed?? I’ll wait!!
June 8th, 2023 at 7:18 pm
And I believe Dirk told him the same thing years ago….. I am sure it will stick this time….. smdh.
June 8th, 2023 at 7:18 pm
Nope. Not even close.
June 8th, 2023 at 7:28 pm
“Say what you really like, be able to confirm what you really love about a concept or a certain play, and not just saying, ‘Yes, I’m fine with it,’” said Jameis.
.
.
Fameis Jameis moves his head like that because he is actually just ignoring what’s being said. He said so himself.
LOL at triggered Squatch.
June 8th, 2023 at 7:33 pm
Yes rich Gannon
June 8th, 2023 at 7:52 pm
He might be Tallahassee’s Backup though.
June 8th, 2023 at 8:21 pm
If Jameis is good with Chucky, why can’t the Glazers be?
June 8th, 2023 at 8:42 pm
Funny how JW has gotten worse after leaving Tampa. Boy that sure is a surprise isn’t it?
June 8th, 2023 at 9:39 pm
WINSTON DIDN’T GET WORSE
He was better here because he had Evans. Evans won Johnny Football a Heisman, gave Winston record-setting numbers, and extended TB12’s career.
I expect Baker to thrive throwing to the kingmaker.

Quit being the guy who runs coaches out of town
Quit throwing so many interceptions
Quit only racking up stats in garbage time
Quit ripping your team’s heart out by being so wildly inconsistent
Etc.
So glad he’s not on the Bucs

Including the link so this goes in moderation and you can read the SI article that ranks Lavonte David #6 in the NFL for LBs.

Is this now the Morning Cup Of Joe? The comments would be off by now. This is a Bucs site so I though.
June 8th, 2023 at 11:08 pm
Coaches get run out of town because the TEAM was not successful!
June 8th, 2023 at 11:10 pm
Are you saying you believe jameis isn’t a sex offender?
June 8th, 2023 at 11:13 pm
Drew Brees, John Gruden….Maybe Jameis starts crushing it. That would be wild and cool to see. I would love it if Gruden would officially join the saints as a coordinator. Would love to see those two try to beat us every year. That would be a good era to watch. JW will throw 60 TD to only 6 INT, with 6,000 yards. The Saints would own the division for the next decade with Chucky and JW. Love it. Equally as entertaining scenario as the Tom Brady Era w AB BA Gronk Suh Fournette- well maybe not.. but still a fun idea
June 8th, 2023 at 11:46 pm
That’s good advice. If Jameis had done that, maybe he wouldn’t have thrown 30 picks. BA didn’t help him.
Return Gruden to the Ring.

For those who haven’t realized, Joe has deleted all political comments. This is not a political website and Joe has no interest in hosting one. Joe’s business relationships also have no interest in being a part of that nonsense. Thank you. –Joe
June 9th, 2023 at 2:26 am
My bad Joe. You know I don’t like to violate protocall.
I hate talking politics anyway, as was made clear in my deleted comment. Won’t happen again
June 9th, 2023 at 7:11 am
Aints going for a double dip of sloppy seconds. Desperation at it finest.
June 9th, 2023 at 7:38 am
True Joe he never admitted to doing it. He was just caught in a lie to investigators.

-cool. Agreed.

June 9th, 2023 at 10:03 am
They’re both tools.
June 9th, 2023 at 1:23 pm
Jameis is better then any quarterback on the Buc’s roster at this time.
June 10th, 2023 at 3:05 am
